Could you post your whole controller? Rails renders by default layout/application.html.erb if another layout is not specified.

From the ror guides:

Partial Layouts

A partial can use its own layout file, just as a view can use a layout. For example, you might call a partial like this:

<%= render partial: "link_area", layout: "graybar" %>

This would look for a partial named _link_area.html.erb and render it using the layout _graybar.html.erb. Note that layouts for partials follow the same leading-underscore naming as regular partials, and are placed in the same folder with the partial that they belong to (not in the master layouts folder).

Also note that explicitly specifying :partial is required when passing additional options such as :layout.

So render partial: 'shared/company_signup_form', layout: 'layouts/application'is looking for layouts/_application.html.erb
